hago in pictures - 2003

In February, we celebrated our fourth birthday.

There's something a little odd about that white spike in the cake - check out our Out-Takes for more!

Here's the team eating a slice of cake. Or two slices in one case!

In March, we played a small concert followed by a workshop at West Sussex Guitar Club

In the second half, we were joined by players from WSGC to prepare and perform a special version of La Bamba.
La Bamba is for sale in our shop.

Here's HAGO in June, preparing for our first ever visit to Cambridge and guests of Cambridge Guitar Orchestra

And here we are - at the Church of St Edward, King and Martyr.
See more in our Cambridge Guitar Orchestra Gallery.

In November, we journeyed to the gloomy Conway Hall in central London to compete in the 6th Guitar Orchestra Competition of Great Britain.
And we won it!

Our final concert of 2003 took place in the Seminar Room at The Rowans Hospice, in Purbrook, where our Christmas Concert raised funds for their appeal.

Here's a photo of the trophy that we won at the 6th Guitar Orchestra Competition - read more here...

This, by contrast, is our Cup that we donated to the Portsmouth Music Festival, specifically for ensemble guitar performance.
